Default reinstalling camshafts

I am finishing up my valve adjustments and now reinstalling the camshafts.

Do you guys have any tricks to putting the chain back onto the cam sprockets? It's a pretty tight fit once you get one in there, especially hard when you have to line up the IN and EX mark.

Reading my Haynes manual, it would seem that you fit the chain to the camshafts as you replace the camshafts to the head, leaving any slack in the rear run of the chain between the intake camshaft and the crankshaft. 6 The tensioner will take out any more slack when fitted. I assume this is the same procedure for your bike as my CBR 600 F1 2002 model? Make sure the cams are set in their correct positions! Double check twice!
